Just when we thought Margot Robbie’s press tour wardrobe for Barbie couldn’t get any better, she stepped onto the red carpet in a major vintage Chanel look that’s sure to make your jaw drop.
Today, the actor attended the AFI Awards Luncheon in Los Angeles wearing a look that may be familiar to some eagle-eyed fashion lovers. Fellow blonde bombshell and supermodel Claudia Schiffer had previously worn the ensemble on Chanel’s Spring/Summer 1995 ready-to-wear runway.
The look consists of an ultra-cropped coral blazer jacket with short sleeves, glossy black trim, and a bedazzled blue and orange flower-shaped brooch attached to the center of the hemline. It additionally features a high-waist black miniskirt with a bedazzled Chanel belt wrapped around the waist. While Schiffer’s original look featured a split center that revealed a pair of polka-dot underwear underneath, Robbie’s skirt eschews the split.
Robbie finished off the outfit with black open-toe Mary Jane heels, a quilted black leather bag, and a diamond anklet.
Although Robbie and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, have been faithfully recreating various Barbie outfits for major red-carpet events, she’s still capable of turning heads in non-doll-inspired looks, too—as evidenced by today’s luncheon outfit.
Another ensemble that traded in the Barbiecore trend? Robbie’s dark denim skirt set, which she wore to a screening of Saltburn on Thursday night. At the time, she accessorized the set with a pair of knee-high leather stiletto boots in black and a coordinating quilted Chanel purse.
